• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EAMS_UI_MISC015 - You are not authorized to display a technical object (EQUI) ?

  The SAP error message EAMS_UI_MISC015 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to display a technical object, specifically an equipment object (EQUI). This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) module or similar applications where users need specific permissions to access certain data.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorization objects that allow access to equipment data.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be configured correctly to include the required permissions.
  User Profile Changes: Changes in user roles or profiles that inadvertently remove access to certain objects.
  System Configuration: The system may have specific configurations that restrict access based on certain criteria.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the relevant authorization objects related to equipment display, such as I_EQUIP (for equipment) or I_TCODE (for transaction codes).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user’s roles using transaction code PFCG. Add the required authorization objects to the user’s role.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator to request the changes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the access to the technical object again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Training:
  
  Ensure that users are aware of the necessary authorizations required for their roles and provide training if needed.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
